Question Docker Environment Variables

[paulr]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian v18.0.51_build1800230310.09 os_Ubuntu 22.04

I'm running Docker and need to pass RSA_PRIVATE_KEY as an env variable containing the full text of a PEM formatted private key.

Entering it in the web interface the newlines are escaped (\\n) and I can't find a way to pass the variaable in a way that is acceptable to the container.

I can't find where plesk stores the config for containers (edits to /var/lib/docker/containers/xxx/config.v2.json don't persist). Does anyone know where plesk stores the config for containers? Can I pass the variable in any other way?

Thanks for any pointers.

I would also like to know this. But given the degree of responses here from Plesk or other users it appears that this is hard to get. I believe they are stored as .env files. But where they are is a bit of a mystery so far.

What docker is this?

Have you tried the CLI?

docker run -d -v /path/to/private-key.pem:/app/private-key.pem -e PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/app/private-key.pem your_image
